  Hector Aguilar Armadillo Necklace   SOLD

Hector Aguilar sterling silver Armadillo necklace on velvet. Fabric is frayed in one spot but original. Could easily be mended or replaced but I preferred keeping this piece exactly as it came out of an estate. Smooth front with hand hammering visible on the back. Measures 17" in length; largest disc is 1 5/8"tall and 1 7/16" at widest. This design was copied by others but originated with Aguilar. 1943 - 48 hallmark
